A CSU student died early Wednesday morning from bacterial meningitis, and another student remains hospitalized in Fort Collins with a possible infection, university and public health officials say.

Colorado State University sophomore Christina Adame, 23, originally of Evans, fell ill about 11 p.m. Tuesday and died around 2 a.m. Wednesday, officials said. They said she called in sick to work Tuesday, and was at least partially incoherent when she spoke with her mother later that night. Her mother called an ambulance, officials said.
